A New Life

Chapter 9

We pulled up to the grocery store, and started shopping. "So what do we need." he asked pushing a trolley. "Well we need fruit, veges, meat, milk, cheese, eggs... Uhh cereal, bread and snacks oh and wine. Actually, did you want to stay for dinner tonight?" I felt a slight heat on my cheeks as I asked. "Yeah that sounds great! I uh don't eat meat though, I'm kind of plant based at the moment." he said quietly. "Oh okay, well that's easy. We can figure something out then. What do you feel like?" I smile up at him. "Anything is fine by me."

We chatted about donner and continued getting the shopping done. We were done soon after and made our way back to the car.

"Alright, so if I'm coming over for dinner we just have one place to stop at if that's okay?" he asked starting the car. I just nodded and we head off.

We pulled up to a furniture store. I looked at him. "You need a table and some chairs." I started to protest. "It's my treat. I promise okay?" again, I started to protest. "Katy, let me." he said. And with that he got out of the car and lead me into the store. We looked around and finally we both saw a table and chairs set we both really liked. And then I looked at the price. "Holy shit, no way Chris." I said starting to walk away. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back. "It's okay! Let's get it." and with that he strode of with his long legs to get the store assistant to help us. Not long after we were back in the car with not only the table and chairs but also a plate set, glass set, cutlery set, some placemats and coasters and a new sewing mannequin for my sewing room. The car was pretty full, and then we head back to my house.

We unloaded the car, and started to set the table and chairs up. We chatted about this that and everything. All surface stuff though. We were neay finished with the chair when his phone rang. He got up and went outside to talk. I finished the rest of the chairs, and started putting away my mannequin. He was gone for about 10 minutes and called out to me when he couldnt find me. "Up here! Last door on the left." I could hear him coming up the stairs. "So this is where the sewing magic happens huh?" he said coming into my sewing room. "Sure is, everything okay?" I ask turning to look at him. "Oh uh yeah, that was just our manager. They've pushed our tour forward by a couple weeks. I knew we were leaving again. Soon, just not this soon." he said with a mixture of emotions I couldn't figure out. "That's great! When will you guys be leaving?" I said smiling up at him, excited for them. "In three days." he said rubbing his neck. Oh woah that's soon. "That's so soon! Why'd they only just tell you now?" I ask. "They only just got confirmed for some new venues." he said, again not too sure what emotions he's feeling. "That's great!! Where are you going?", "Europe".
